OOSimTTION,
THE "ALIKS" AROUSES T.
The Forsyth Advertiser, replying to
the Macon Telegraph, makes the fol
lowing admirable argument in favor of
Atlanta:
One day the Mama Telrgrapb and M«w*n«*r
•ay* that ‘the mJg pearl cel ^aewtAam eb at the
removal of the ceoitaJ beck to Milled ferule ia
ooeof dollar* and enow."
Aathte argument—J each It ten be celled-
wea aafldetaUy aaawered. and shown not to be
correct, will the * capital” editor of tbe Tale-
graph. In tbe next bane, study oat another re*-
mao why Atluiu should fire up tbe much
o ireted prise of being tbe capital of Georgia.
And such a reason! Let the people pause and
who rieUa that dty Is struck with this fact: He
not Uka Georgians ; ai <1 their 1 teas habits aud
modes of thought sod action do not re*pood to
Because Atlanta la a “place of incessant ac
tivity, adventure and •peculation," therefore
she la net a suitable city In wbieh the legislature
may assemble. We have never called Milledg»r
ville a dull aad sleepy old town, because we did
net know It to be sucb.butlt realty on ms that at
Isaac one chasspiuo of berlntereets ou ke that
point In her favor. A little pemstenoe In this line
of argument will cause Mllledgrvllle to exclaim
••nave me from my friends." This puts a pro
■stum on sleepiness, dullness. Inactivity and
stagnation. Georgia la proud of Atlanta. We
have beard many people, who have visited the
Gate dty, remark that they seemed to be among
a "different psopte" but tbe remark instead of
being one of disparagement was made
to oomm-nd the people of that live
dty for their spirit of p'ngrem.
These evidences of prosperity have drawn
thousands of m<*t excellent cl Mena Into At
lanta aud by tbs very methods which wc now
bear coolctnoed for the first time, have canted
the dty to expand and enlarge with a grew id
almost fabulous. We so often beard that this
growth was fictitious that we aimo t believed
IL But the dty is as remarkable for solidity
and endurance fur rapidity of growth, and ibis
fact la now generally admitted. If the mem'
ben of tbe general iw mMy and representative
bodies will be aotnfluci c.d as la cause tbcm to
be subsequently more aiming, enterprising and
progrvmtve, to eu«ble them to depart from be
dell routine which heretofore marked their
dally lives, then we my good and not evil la ac
compli'hed.
Again, the Telegraph says:

Fives aU such teachings may the good Lord
deliver us. With our varied climate aud moun

SOME CAPITAL AUGMENTS.

Northwestern insurance company’s
mortgage, foreclosed, and calling for
about $80,000 as a lien on that house.
Wbat could be realised for it under tbe
circumstances 7 Again, look back at
all the correspondence between Atlanta
and the state touching the location of
tbe capital here, and answer—answer
honestly—whether the state can remu v*
the seat of government from Atlanta,
and, with decency, refuse to pay back
to her the money expended by her on
her contrast with tbe state to make her
the permanent seat of government?
We stop not to consider whether she
conld justly claim the two hundred
and nine thousand dollars expended by
her in thiamatter or only one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. The reader
can form bis own deductions from the
acts heretofore given.

of room in the present capitoL Its

very word was distinctly heard
tt roughout the hall.
The state library of many thousands
of bo^ks was pat in a room
corner, the floor of which is tne
ceiling of the senate chamber. It is
about forty or fifty feet wide, and sev
enty or eighty long, and is supported
by trussed beams above. This im
mense weight, at that point, caused a
cracking of plastering, which has given
»uf enemies the opportunity to cry out
*dacg*r.” But no one believed them.
No office seeker has ever held back
from pushing bis way into the build
ing, though densely packed ; no timid
maiden baa declined to accompany her
beau to see tbe assembled wisdom of
our state. The larger the crowd the
greater has been the proportion of of
tice-stekersand timid maidens.
We believe that no candid man, ac
quaint'd with all the facts, and know
ing tbe necessities of the state, if com
pelled to say which would beat serve

Quite recently we invited the editor
of the bparia Times and Planter to a
friendly and temperate disc ussion of
the capital question. The editor has
responded to this invitation, and, after
kindly reprintirg our article, proceeds’
to reply. Ue begins as follows:
Ik are In tbe arena on this P'at form, aud like
CUV clever coat mporary. we want ’nothing

read The rowrrmmos'a "Facta,” and we tee

greatly ealarged buainma of the ■**«” are a
pan of the very harden the people are trying to
throw iff.
Right here wo desiro to my a word.
Will tho editor of th© Times and Plan
ter tell us what other argument is used
by the friends of Miliedgeville ssve
that of economy ? Of course we un
derstand about “the halls of our fath
ers," and “the halls onr fathers built,"
although we have an impression that
they were built by convict labor; but
that is not aigument, and it will have
no weight with any sensible man who
dqee not allow his prejudices to over
come his common sense. Such talk i*
mere sentiment and gu*h, and it has
not a particle of effect upon those who
are accuntamed to takiug practical
views of public questions. We have
shown from time to time, as occasion
offered, that it would be more econom
ical to allow the capital Ur remain in
Atlanta than to n»> urn it to Mil»edge
ville, and it is worthy of remark, In Uiis
connection, that not a single iriend
of MiUedgevUVe has attempted
to combat onr arguments. It is
well for their c: use, probably, that they
have not. Oar i* fond of the Times and
Planter secs no’hitg in our reminis
cences ol the capital question “but a
shrewd manipulation of immaterial
•facta’ to make, ii poaeible, convincing
points in favor of Atlanta.** As to th©
“shrewd manipulation” aduded to, we
appeal to tbe record. For fear that we
might be seemed oi garbli> g or even
••manipulating" we have been at con
siderable pain* iu verifying onr ex
tracts, and, at the risk of making the
articles tedi nsly long, have not or.ly
made onr quotations at some length,
but have appended the references
thereto in order that they might be
pn mptiy verifi- d. P ** this look like
"manipulation
Our former articles under this
bead were mainly made up
of quotations from public docu
ments. These quotations were some
times long, perhaps tedious. We do
not apologize. We desired to furnish
tbe friends of Atlanta with the facta
and at tbe s«me time to avoid a charge
of making “garbled extracts.
That dune we propose to discum a
few practical question*. First,
let ns look at the ex
pense of the removal of the capital.
Tbe law makes the following re*
q ointments:
“The executive office shall be in the
state house, at tbe seat of government.
If, from any cause, mere is no state
house, or it has to be abandoned,
then at such place at the neat of gorem-
tnetu mb the governor may direct, and
not elsewhere, unless made necessary
from invasion, insurrection, pestilence
or rebellion. Tbe governor shall retd e
at the seat of government during bis
term of office.’’—Code of 1873, section
7U.
The governor “mast assign rooms in
the capitol to all officers who must hold
their offices there, (at the capital,) and
the absence of any legislative pro
vision, designate tbe purposes for
wbieh other room* are to be applied.”
lb. section 62. Those officers “who
must hold their offices there” are the
secretary of state^tate treasurer,comp
troller general, state librarian, state
school commissioner, attorney general,
state geologist and commissioner of
agriculture. And the supreme court
'flbail ait at the seat of government,”
■ the language of the present consti
tution, ilb. section 6086,) and of the
new constitution, article VI, section
11. paragraph 5.
Therefore, so soon as it shall have
been ascertained tb it the vote was in
favor of removal to Miliedgeville, tbe
governor aud every state-hon«e officer,
and tbe supreme court will be com
pelled to move to Miliedgeville.
Tbe governor and state-bouse officers
could no longer legally act as such at
Atlanta. The supreme court could no
longer legally sit at Atlanta.
Move they must, but how ? We be
lieve the most earnest advocates of re
moval in the late convention admitted
that it would require ten .liousand
dollars ($10,000) to repair, the state
house so as p> make it fit for occupation.

representative chamber. It has never
been enlarged. The addition men-
lioned in onr first article at the sonth
end was simply the tower-like projec
tion outside the main walls. You can
n jw understand why Governor John
son and tbe committees should com
plain of tbe want of room when we
had one hundred gnd twelve conn-
ties and only one hundred and
forty members in the house. You can
see bow cramped would be the repre-
ntatives of one hundred and thirty-
seven counties. There is no escape from
it. li we move to Miliedgeville we rmiut
build a new capitol at once. The loss
of money as set forth in onr last article
as a result of removal, is a certainty.
But that amcle looked only to the
lo6* of money by the state as a state.
It is no lea* important to look at tbe
additional los=. to th« people as indi
viduals or aggregated persons inhabi
ting and doing business in the state.
The great maos of the correspond
ence with the public departments is by
citizens living above aline drawn from
Columbus to Augusta through Macon
exclusive of those from tho-e three
cities and Savannah. Not one-tnueth of
tbe letters start below that line. This
correspondence indicates that the great
mass of population having business
with the government lives above that
line. To remove the capital to Mil*
ledgeville, below that line, is to compel
for all time to come heavy extra ex
pense to our citizens in attending to
their affairs. The mass of the trade of
Georgia, exclusive of these cities, is
centered at Atlanta. One coming
here on business with the govern
ment may and does transact oth
er business for himself and his
neighbors. Miliedgeville has no
trade, and from its location never
can have any commercial influence.
Not being a terminal point, a trip there
on business must be for that business
alone. It is true that one might trade
at Macon, but that would require waste
of time in stopping. [Ia not that tbe
secret of Macon’s interest in this mat
ter?]
We have no figures by which to show
how many extra dollars in a year, or
series oi years, would thus be lost by
the private citizens, but let the reader
look into the facts at his home and try
make an estimate. This
matter of couvenieace and ex
pense to tboee who deal with the gov
ernment has located the capitals of the
states of every country.
We can not tell all the reasons which
may have located the capital at Mil-
ledgeville. Centrality ol position may
have then been a controlling reason.
We donbt it; for then the country
beyond the F int and Chattahoochee
rivers was held by the Indians and
had not been surveyed. But suppose
it did. When everybody went to the
capital on horaeaor in private carriages
such a consideration seemed fair.

day since a railroad engine ran into
Atlanta that she has not been consider
ed by all far-seeing men as the destined
capital of our state.
Again, there are no accommodations
at Miliedgeville,for the citizens who may
visit there. After the capital had been
there about fifty years she built
a respectable brick hotel,
but it has long since
been burned down. Her friends *ay
they will build another. If her travel
has not justified it in the past years,
will the mere having the general as
sembly meet there biennially induce
capitalists to go there to spend their
money ?
But suppose they will build such a
hotel. If they look to visitors to the
capital to pay interest on tbe invest
ment, they mu-t charge well. We know
there would b" -orae outside boarding
houses;*, but the old families and old
society of Milledgville are things of the
past—a pleasant memory, but only
memory. Members of the general as
sembly can board at our best hotel*
So influenced, she even preuentedjv r Thx Torco-Russian war is over—in
United States with laud costing her
$70,000, on which to pat the public
buildings of the federal government.
So moved a**d urged by tbe higher mo
tive of rearing a virtuous and intelli
gent population, she contributed $100,
000 to build school-houses, and anna-
ally pays from $30,000 to $40,000 to
educate the four thousand children in
her corporate limits. Her offer
to induce the location of toe
capital here was but in keeping
with her babituar conduct
We are not arguing whether her policy
in this regard was wise. We o. 1/ uoi

ital.had nothing of.wrong, as has aonwr.

state cannot complain, since this co
t/ now pays $100,000 annually into the
public treasury as taxea, and will cod-<
tinue to increase it if dealt with kindly.
And Atlanta’s credit is the best of any
city in the state, her tax is as small, if
notsmallsr, than any other consider
able city of our state, and our county,
(of which tbe city pays most) is only
abuut twenty-eight cents on the dol
lar, though we have been making large
public improvements.
To those who may think the
policy unwise, we remark that sev
eral years ago we had a new
charter forbidding further debts,
and providing for paying our present
indebtedness. And no effort has been
made to loossn these restrictions, vol-
uivision and rileuce.

The Greeks are so courteous that they
us (or any other city) to offer property oI a Ionian with big ieet, pug nose and
to the state for location of the capital.
We have said this much, when we
might have answered tbe question
when put by the frieud of
Miliedgeville, by asking, “ Why does
Miliedgeville wants the capital moved?”
It is an advantage to either place to
have it; its possession would add
honor to either place. And just as the
greatest and noblest Georgian migh as
pire to be the governor of his state, so
any city in our borders may aspire to
the diguity of being the capital of our
grand old commonwealth.
But Atlanta has another reason for
wishing to keep the seat of government
which cannot operate ou Miliedgeville.
The removal from Miliedgeville was
uot tor any fault in her, not for even
in alledged fault. Should she never
again be the seat of government her
character will not thereby suffer.
Not so with Atlanta. Those
who are adverse to her are not content
to have this question decided by con
siderations of public policy, by a fair
comparison of tbe advantages and
merits of the two contestants, bat de»

From latest New York Mails.
A strange story is told of a Mr.
Yroom, who, a few days since, married a very
pretty girl-a Miss Marsh. Only three days
anerwards he attempts 1 to marry another girl—
a MU* Youlin—alleging that he had been kid
napped into morning th * first girl. It appears
that he ruined Miss Marsh and then mnrrled her
at the “solidtation” of her father. The chief
of police says this about the matter:
“Last Wednesday Mr Marsh caue down to my
office and related the trouble he was ia, aud
asked me to detail a man to accompany him, as
he wo* afraid Yroom,would do him tome person
al injury. I told him as an old friend I would
accompany him. and we accordingly took a car
riage to V loom s office in Ferry street, and after
inducing him to go with as Mr Marsh told him
that he had found he had been with his daugh
ter to sereral hotels in New York, where they
hod registered os man and wife. He denied
this, and we then ail agreed to leave it to the
young lady herself. We accordingly diove
aunt, Mre. * Handley. in
Spring street, where Miss Marsh
confessed everything. Vroom then turned to me
and said to me, ’Well, what do yoa want me to
dor I replied, **tk Ur. Marsh.* Mr. Marsh said,
‘What would you have a lather say but marry
the girl after what has occurred?’ Vroom then
asked Miss Manh if she would marry him, and
she said, •Certain'y.’ We then hired another car

pally of a routine character, w.rnld not interest

In the evening an immense concourse assembl
ed in thedty hall to hear some of the Good Tem
plar visitors speak on the subjectof temperance.
G. W C.T. J. G. Thrower being in the chair,
introduced to the au lienee W. A. Hanscll Erq ,
G. W. C. who made a bri liant speech, which
elicited repented bursts of applause
followed by Rev. J H Reeves, of A’lantf, who
masterly effort illustrated the wisdom,
justice and morality of the noble cause which
he teprecented.
Alter repeated calls P RW C.T. Colonel J J
Hickman rose and from tbe floor address.d the
audience. Though laboring under the effects
long-continued illness, he seemed to gather
power as he proceeded, and ere long he electri
fied his hearers by a lofty and long-continued
strain oi eloquence. It was H ckmaa tpeakii g,
os only Hickman can speak. The nuetiug
closed amid enthusiastic applause.

Everything continues to progress smoothly

Macon has been selected as the place of the
next annual meeting.
On Wednesday evening the grand lodge was
most charmingly entertained by a compli
mentary concert tendered them by Prof. Rogers
nd the young ladies oi Dalton female institute.
Never has it been our good iortuue to attend
any place of amusement where the audience
seemed so entirely to appreciate the perform
ance. This was attributable in a very large
degree to the character of the music and the
grace and modesty of the performers. To Prof,
fichoellerlsdue some praise for the thorough
training of his pupils, but we satisfied, in the
language of Mr. Hansell, ’ that he was more
than repaid for his trouble by his pleasant as
sociations.” The grand lodge returned thanks
rising vote, and also through Mr W A
Ilansell, or Roswell, who acquitted himself to
the gMtification of those whom he represented
and the applause of his audience

WILL DELAY A LITTLE LONGER.
Lon ik)n,September 15.—The Servians
will delay a declaration of war till the
operations against Plevna assume a
more cheerful look from the Bussiau
point of view.
Gen. Skobelcff repulsed five attacks
on Tuesday, but on the sixth he was
compelled togjtandon the two redoubts
before Plevna which he had captured
on Tuesday. Pievna is provisioned for
two months. Biker Pasha drove the
Russians into Voditaka with heavy,
loss. The general tone of the news is
very unfavorable to the Russians.
THE REPULSE OF fKOBELXFF.
London, September 15.—The Daily
News has just issued a special edition
containing the following: Bucharest,
Friday night. I left the battle field be
fore Plevna at noon yesterday. Two
redoubts were taken by General Skob-
elt fl on Tuesday evening and were held
twenty-four hours. On Wednesday the
Turks made six attacks, and finally
about 6 o’clock in the evening drove
him out. He lost three cannons which
he had placed in the redoubt. He ask
ed for reinforcements several times,but
General Levitzky refused thorn, think
ing that General Skobelcff had enough
tnen to hold the redoubt. Finally Gen
eral Kriloff, on his own responsibility,
sent a remnant of the regiment which
bad attacked the lower redoubt near
Plevna and wnose effective strength
wrt reduced to a thousand men utterly
unfit to go into battle. Even this regi
mes t arrived a few minutes too late,
and another regiment sent from the
headquarters of staff lo reinforce him
arrived when General Skoboloff already
had retreated. The loss of these re
doubts is disastrous for the Russian
attack, as it seems that the Russians,
in possession of these two redoubts and
(he Grivaca redoubt, had counted upon
recommencing the offensive immediate
ly. Tnis is now impossible until the
arrival of reinforcements. When I
left the battlefield, all was qniet, ex
cept a light infantry fire The Russians
are still ia possession of Grivicare->
doubt, which was under a continual
heavy fire from the Turks. This re
doubt was visited by Colonel Welles^
ley, who says it is heaped full of dead
Russians and Roumanians.
ANOTHER RUSSIAN REPULSE.
London, September 15.—A dispatch
from Shumla to the Daily Telegraph,
dated Friday, says Osman Pasha has
tttauked the Russians in great force at
Dubruk, on the road from Plevna to
Sofia, where they had fortified them
selves in order to prevent him from
receiving support. The Russians were
b.idly bee ten and have lost several
thousand men, besides nine guns.
